Freon Question

Could someone tell me which freon
they used in a 1993 explorer.
Thanks
Stan

It came with R12 rom the factory.... after this many years, who knows what
might have been added?

There should be sticker, clearly stating the type and quantity of
refrigerant. Perhaps on the cross-brace, just above radiator, or the
underside of the engine hood. You can also tell by the size and shape of the
low and high side ports - those for R134a will be much larger and smooth on
the outside. R12 will be smaller and have external thread.

I bought a "retrofit" kit for my '92 and the new fitting for R134 is a
quick-connect type. I suspect that if it is still R12 it will not have the
new fitting. My '91 still has R12 in it and it could use a recharge but
from what I've read it may be cheaper to retrofit it too but first I'll need
to have the R12 removed by a qualified AC tech.
